Castor Oil Stories: Tonsillitis and Uterine Infection

One of the values of research at the personal level is the realization by the individual that something real has happened within his own experience, and that he has produced data that, once shared, may be meaningful and helpful to other people. Ian Dorian, an A.R.E. member from St. Louis, shared this bit of information with me and I’m passing it on, because it may stimulate in some of you who read these pages a desire to see if such effects in the human body can come about in your own experiences. This research deals with the use of castor oil packs.
Ian has been afflicted recurrently with acute tonsillitis. He began using castor oil packs around his throat and found that one hour-long treatment produced excellent results. Five times he repeated this and now, for the past five-and-a-half years, he has had no recurrence of the tonsil infection.
Being an enterprising soul, Ian sought out a niece and a friend-both of whom had laryngitis-and suggested this kind of treatment. The results? “Excellent.” In another instance, his wife developed a uterine infection, which became the object of further research. Three times he had her apply a castor oil pack on her lower abdomen for 1 to 11/2 hours. The results? The same. Perhaps Ian’s enthusiasm colors the outcome a bit, but perhaps his desire for good results brings that healing energy that one does not always find readily available. Whatever the full story -whether it be the Ricinus communis and its oil, the pure desire for healing, or the vibratory healing quality generated by our correspondent – the outcome, in the eyes of the individuals involved, was healing of the human body. Perhaps that’s what it’s all about.
